Gearswap Help Thread!

[BerenTebogo]

Great, thanks! I know what I'm stuck doing this week

[Trumpy]

2) You could also use the gearswap library file. In order to do this, you'd need:

require 'organizer-lib'

Then you could use:

//gs org

which would iterate over your sets table (the place where you keep equipment in gearswap) and attempt to grab all of the equipment for your currently loaded file.

Where exactly do we put

require 'organizer-lib'

to make use of this?

Also when you do that the first way with the freeze command does it freeze both your bag and wardrobe at the same time?


@ Scythe My disable back feature works fine, might be an issue on ur PC/file

[Byrthnoth]

You could put it anywhere in your gearswap file.

The freeze command takes bags as arguments, so you can specify which bags you'd like to freeze. It defaults to freezing all of them.

[Trumpy]

ahh ok so we can jsut list more than 1 and it would work. thanks

[Tidis]

Just wondering, I've always used //gs o but everyone always says //gs org.

Do they do the same thing or is there a slight difference?

[Maurauc]

Just wondering, I've always used //gs o but everyone always says //gs org.

Do they do the same thing or is there a slight difference?

They do exactly the same. Line 7 of organizer-lib.lua says you can use:
'organizer','organize','org','o'
as options.

Can provide some insight for adjusting stratagem recast timer and current stratagem count after getting the SCH 550 job point gift?

I have fiddled around and it accurately shows the recast for the first stratagem, but anymore after that and it jumbles up how many current strats I have.

[VirtuousBlade]

Well i'm a returning player and finally got enough jp for utsusemi san, I'm having trouble getting gearswap to recognize it as A utsusemi spell though, I've updated the spell mapping can some help me figure out what else i might be missing

[Trumpy]

Check that your resources is up to date. in your res folder look for the spells file and search for utsusemi

[VirtuousBlade]

Thanks it is update, well Utsusemi San is there any other suggestions?

[dlsmd]

Thanks it is update, well Utsusemi San is there any other suggestions?

with out knowing how your code is written there is no way to help you

[Ithorien]

Check and make sure the Utsu line in Mote-Mappings is just like

['Utsusemi: Ichi']='Utsusemi',['Utsusemi: Ni']='Utsusemi',['Utsusemi: San']='Utsusemi',

Having issues with Mote's SCH gearswap:

Have adjusted the equipment, but the original is giving the same error message too:

http://pastebin.com/6ZBvQqat

Its saying:

lua runtime error: gearswap /flow.lua:295:
gearswap has detected an error in the user function self_command:
...SCH.lua:432: attempt to index field 'Defense' (a nil value)

Any ideas how to resolve this?
I change the file name to BLM.lua, switched to blm to see if it loaded and it did, no issues at all, however when using it on SCH it doesn't work!
I've got mote's includes

[Jeanne Renault]

Still using Mote's libs. Currently trying to use Itemizer to move Hybrid Mode sets back and forth between my bag and Mog Case since I don't usually need them. I expanded the state-change function that came with the RDM.lua I've been working from to include those modes.

function job_state_change(stateField, newValue, oldValue)
    if stateField == 'Offense Mode' then
        if newValue == 'Magic' then
            enable('main','sub','range')
        else
            disable('main','sub','range')
        end
    elseif stateField == 'Hybrid Mode' then
        if oldValue ~= 'Normal' then
            oldSet = sets.engaged.oldValue
        else
            oldSet = sets.engaged
        end
        if newValue ~= 'Normal' then
            newSet = sets.engaged.newValue
        else
            newSet = sets.engaged
        end
        itemize_sets(oldSet, newSet)
    elseif stateField == 'Casting Mode' then
        if newValue ~= 'Healing' then
            disable('main','sub','range')
        end
    end
end

function itemize_sets(putset, getset)
    --put unneeded stuff away
    for krap,shyt in pairs(putset) do
        local stupidThing = 'blah'
        if type(shyt) == "table" then
            stupidThing = shyt.name
        elseif type(shyt) == "string" then
            stupidThing = shyt
        else
            --these were to test if shyt was even getting through at all. evidently, it isn't, but...
            stupidThing = 'White Drop'
        end
        --these send_commands never work. stupidThing isn't holding a value at all.
        send_command('put "' .. stupidThing .. '" case')
    end
    --get needed stuff out
    for krap,shyt in pairs(getset) do
        local stupidThing = 'blah'
        if type(shyt) == "table" then
            stupidThing = shyt.name
        elseif type(shyt) == "string" then
            stupidThing = shyt
        else
            stupidThing = 'White Drop'
        end
        send_command('get "' .. stupidThing .. '"')
    end
end

The official command reference doesn't actually explain how pairs is supposed to behave. Even worse, according to the error messages I've been getting, the value of stupidThing refuses to be anything but nil--even though it should be getting assigned something.

All I want is to get the strings back out of the table one at a time so I can run them through Itemizer. Once that works, I get to try to implement case statements in this barbaric language. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This makes absolutely no sense. That script doesn't even do anything with 'Defense' that far down, and there's no reason it should work for BLM but not SCH. I'm no expert, but it sounds like the Lua interpreter itself is shitting the bed. Hard.

try this

function itemize_sets(putset, getset)
    --check to make sure whats being given
    if putset ~= nil then
        print("putset = "..putset)--should show as "putset = table########"
    end
    if getset ~= nil then
        print("getset = "..getset)--should show as "getset = table########"
    end
    --saves your butt if one is nil
    if putset == nil or getset == nil then
        return
    end
    --put unneeded stuff away
    for i,v in pairs(putset) do
        local put
        if type(v) == "table" then
            put = v.name
        else
            put = v
        end
        --print(put)--uncomment to see what the gear it is trying to put
        send_command('put "'..put..'" case')
    end
    --get needed stuff out
    for i,v in pairs(getset) do
        local get
        if type(v) == "table" then
            get = v.name
        else
            get = v
        end
        --print(get)--uncomment to see what the gear it is trying to put
        send_command('get "'..get..'"')
    end
end

[Jeanne Renault]

the only thing i can think of why it does not work might be this
send_command('get "' .. stupidThing .. '"')

try this

function itemize_sets(putset, getset)
    --check to make sure whats being given
    if putset ~= nil then
        print("putset = "..putset)--should show as "putset = table########"
    end
    if getset ~= nil then
        print("getset = "..getset)--should show as "getset = table########"
    end
    --saves your butt if one is nil
    if putset == nil or getset == nil then
        return
    end
    --put unneeded stuff away
    for i,v in pairs(putset) do
        local put
        if type(v) == "table" then
            put = v.name
        else
            put = v
        end
        --print(put)--uncomment to see what the gear it is trying to put
        send_command('put "'..put..'" case')
    end
    --get needed stuff out
    for i,v in pairs(getset) do
        local get
        if type(v) == "table" then
            get = v.name
        else
            get = v
        end
        --print(get)--uncomment to see what the gear it is trying to put
        send_command('get "'..get..'"')
    end
end

When I do it like this, I get an error message bitching about trying to concatenate a table value into a string, which makes me wonder just how badly Luacore got gutted in comparison to an actual Lua interpreter. Changing the lines to simply confirm putset/getset are there works--however, getset is inexplicably nil 2/3 of the times I try, and the other 1/3 of the time, get ends up being nil. I'm about ready to scrap this and just go bang my head against the lack of anything resembling a case statement. I'd already have that one figured out if there was a working load() function, actually.

Dumb question--what's the difference between using include() and using require to load libs?

[Byrthnoth]

There is no difference inside a gearswap user file. I have both Include and Require so both Spellcast and Lua people feel comfortable, but neither of them are actually the normal Lua require function.


I've never run into a situation where Luacore works differently than any the Lua manuals would expect.

include() is a gearswap require() that also looks in the geaswap sub dir while require() only looks in libs,and the specific addons folder

i think for some reason newSet is not updating

try this and tell me the out put

function job_state_change(stateField, newValue, oldValue)
    if stateField == 'Offense Mode' then
        if newValue == 'Magic' then
            enable('main','sub','range')
        else
            disable('main','sub','range')
        end
    elseif stateField == 'Hybrid Mode' then
        if oldValue ~= 'Normal' then
            oldSet = sets.engaged.oldValue
        else
            oldSet = sets.engaged
        end
        if newValue ~= 'Normal' then
            newSet = sets.engaged.newValue
        else
            newSet = sets.engaged
        end
        print(oldSet,newSet)
    elseif stateField == 'Casting Mode' then
        if newValue ~= 'Healing' then
            disable('main','sub','range')
        end

Without trying it I can tell you the output is going to be an error message complaining about trying to print tables.

EDIT: Using print(type(oldSet)) and print(type(newSet)) reveals that once again newSet is nil. It shouldn't be, because I have sets defined for each Hybrid Mode. Which raises a new question: Can anyone confirm whether changing HybridMode actually does anything at all, ever?

I've never run into a situation where Luacore works differently than any the Lua manuals would expect.

I've run into several differences just today, particularly load() accepting only functions and not strings, along with implicit conversions just not happening. You're an open-source guy, right?
